The Marquis de Luthor and Lady Marianne sat side by side at the table, flanked by Madame Mabel and Madame Sissy, and the other three daughters sat beside Madame Mabel.

Surdak sat directly across from the Marquis of Luther, and the table was long and almost full of delicate food.

Several ladies knew that the Marquis of Luthor was very fond of Surdak, and not only married his favorite daughter Hathaway to Surdak, but also gave Surdak the entire city of Ruyt as a dowry.

Now that Surdak has successfully returned to Bena Province from the Great Battlefield, everyone has discovered how unique the Marquis of Luthor is.

When Marquis Luthor first met Surdak, he was just an unknown knight in the Haylanza City Guard Battalion, but now he has not only been promoted to an earl, but also a second-turn powerhouse.

Having participated in several battles, he had some outstanding performances, and now he was able to sit at the table and talk to the Marquis of Luthor.

The more Mabel saw that Surdak had done so well, the more she regretted that it was the second major mistake of her life that she had not been able to marry her daughter to the young man......

The first major mistake in her life was when she was young, when Marquis Luthor was on his expedition to the Brennonu plane, she secretly stole with a young viscount in the city of Bena. Love, it's a pity that the viscount put this glamour when he was drinking. When he told his friends, it somehow reached the ears of the Marquis of Luther, so much so that the Marquis of Luther always suspected that none of the three daughters born to Madame Mabel had the Luther blood.

It was for this reason that the Marquis de Luthor did not like Madame Mabel and her three daughters......

If it weren't for the inseparable relationship between the family behind Madame Mabel and the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment controlled by Marquis Luthor, perhaps Madame Mabel would have been driven out of the Marquis Mansion by Marquis Luthor a long time ago.

Now looking at Surdak, who was slowly cutting the barbecue with a dinner knife, Mrs. Mabel's eyes were also full of unwillingness.

Compared with Madame Mabel's unwillingness, the smile on Madame Marianne's face was much kinder, and she asked Surdak, "Dak, when will I return to Ruyt City after this great battlefield service is over?" ”

Surdak put down the knife in his hand, wiped his mouth and said unhurriedly:

"It's probably around the end of the month, and before that, I have to go to the territory of Invercargill Forest on the White Forest plane to inspect it, there is still an iron mine over there that has not been built, and I am going to organize the preparation of the iron mine in the past!"

Lady Marianne glanced at the Marquis of Luthor and complained: "Ferdinand, if you hadn't asked Duck to form a cavalry battalion and go to the Bailin plane to garrison, it is estimated that he would not have to run on both sides so hard, and now Bailin also has a territory that needs to be managed, and most of the Ganbu plane needs to be rebuilt, which is really enough for him to be busy......"

"Territory, which noble lord would think that he has more territory?" Marquis Luthor laughed and said, "Besides, there is nothing wrong with working more when you are young. Otherwise, write to Hathaway and ask her to come to Bednar City, and when she arrives in Bednar, she will be able to return to Ruyt with Duck in a magical airship......"

"That's a good idea, I really miss her!" As she spoke, Lady Marianne beckoned to the maid beside her, reminding herself to do it when she turned back.

Surdak did not expect that the Marquis of Luthor had Lady Marianne write a letter to Hathaway, asking her to come to the city of Pena only so that she could return to the city of Ruyt with him at the end of the month.

Let Hathaway ride a magic airship thousands of miles to greet him, Surdak is still a little reluctant.

But Mrs. Marianne said that she missed her daughter, and he could not stop him, so he could only sit down honestly opposite him, and carefully ate the roasted snake-necked lizard meat on his plate.

Seeing Surdak getting along so well with the Marquis of Luthor and Lady Marianne, Mabel felt as if she had a gauze around her chest tightly twisted together, and the dullness and oppression made her breathless.

"When you're in Bena City, remember to participate in more activities, opera, ball or manor hunting, if you need an invitation, feel free to come to me to choose, these activities are a bit boring, but they can allow you to expand some network, which will help you in the future."

Towards the end of the dinner, the Marquis of Luthor admonished Surdak.

Surdak took a sip of mulled wine, then agreed, "Okay, if the time is enough and it suits me, I will participate." But I'm looking forward to attending these balls with Hathaway, because I don't know much about some of the prom etiquette, and I'm worried I'm going to get into trouble at the ball! ”

The Marquis of Luthor realized that Surdak had been a knight with little contact with aristocratic high society until two years ago......

Surdak's prudence and courtesy are even more satisfying.

After dinner, the Marquis of Lutor and Madame Marianne asked Surdak to stay at the Marquis's Palace, and Surdak thought about it and agreed.

However, the residence arranged for him this time is no longer the special room, but Hathaway's room in the Marquis of Luther's palace, this room still retains the appearance of Hathaway when she left, all the furniture and furnishings have not changed, only some of Hathaway's beloved things have been brought to Ruyt.

The room at the top of the tower was originally a place for Hathaway's confinement, but after she got used to living there, Hathaway moved her bedroom here.

The bedroom was so large that the large bed around the curtain seemed to occupy only a small corner of the room, with musical instruments and several gem-encrusted swords hanging from the walls, but these were not Hathaway's usual swords, Hathaway's longsword had been brought to Ruyt.

Surdak pulled out a long sword in his hand, only to feel that the blade of the sword was pale blue......

However, he preferred the broadsword at his waist, after all, he was used to it, and next to the wall where the long sword was hung, there was a large open space, with a thick carpet on the ground, and two wooden figures practicing swordsmanship on the wall.

Hathaway also graduated from the Bednar High Swordsman Academy, so she usually practices swordsmanship in her spare time.

During the time she was grounded, her sword practice was moved to this spacious bedroom.

The washroom and bedroom are also together, there is no compartment at all, only a gauze curtain separates the bedroom from the washroom, making Surdak feel that such a large room will not look very cold in winter......

The bedding and blankets on the bed were very dry, and you could smell the faint smell of sunlight when you walked in.

Surdak sat down on the edge of the soft bed, and just as he was about to lift his feet and take off his heavy boots, the maid who had just led the way had already squatted down on one knee in front of Surdak, helped him take off his boots, and placed a pair of soft slippers at his feet.

There was also a maid on the other side of the washroom putting hot water.

Although Surdak was a little unaccustomed to it, he still took off the magic pattern structure on his body with the help of the maid, it was really nice to have someone around to serve him, and he stretched out his hand slightly, and took off his leather armor and coat.

However, Surdak was a little unacceptable to the rest of the matter, and the maid beside Lady Marianne had already begun to roll up her cuffs, clearly wanting to help Surdak take a bath......

"I can do the rest by myself! You can go and rest......"

Surdak stood next to the bathtub and refused.

The maids bowed to Surdak and bowed their heads.

Surdak stayed only one night at the Marquis de Luther's palace, and the next morning it was like the Marquis de Luther leaving the house.

"I thought you'd stay in Bena City for two days......"

Marquis Luthor stood at the bottom of the steps and said to Surdak, who was leading the horse.

"I want to deal with the situation in Invercargill Forest as soon as possible, and when I get ready, I'm going to move the steel mill on the Ruyt side......," Surdak said.

"I'll come back as soon as I am done with the affairs on the White Forest Plane, and when the time comes, Hathaway should also arrive!"

Marquis Luthor commanded Surdak.

"I'll be back as soon as I can......"

After saying this, Surdak hurriedly saluted the Marquis of Luthor and Lady Marianne, and then rode away......

……

Surdak took the pass to the White Forest Plane and led the team members to enter the White Forest Plane through the back garden portal of Duke Newman's Mansion very smoothly.

Wilkes in front of you is like an extension of the city of Bednar on another dimension, almost all the architectural styles are the same, and you can still see the long lines of caravans at the edge of the square when you walk out of the lively square of Wilkes City.

The northern part of the White Forest Plane is vast and full of pastures, but unfortunately the White Forest Plane grows a kind of white-pole glass grass, which is not suitable for raising black-scaled horses and blue-scaled horses, and only the Gubolai horses, which eat all kinds of grass, can live here.

Nearly a thousand Gubolai horses were encircled in front of the square, and it looked like they were preparing to wait until evening to enter the city of Bena.

The Surdak team did not stop at Wilkes City, but bought three Gubolai horses at the horse market that day, and the group of six passed through the north gate of Wilkes City and headed north along a river.

It was probably a long time since he had seen such a vast meadow, and Bernita the Frost Wolf rushed out with the wolf knight Tiger Tiger first.

Compared with human cavalry, wolf cavalry has stronger stamina, and is also the most loyal combat partner of wolf cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of a frost wolf on the battlefield is no worse than that of wolf cavalry.

But the shortcomings of the wolf cavalry are also obvious, that is, they lack explosive power and charging power, and when the legion fights, they are completely crushed by the knights in construction......

However, in the case of individual combat, a wolf rider and the constructed knight go head-to-head, as long as they carry the charge of the constructed knight, the balance of victory will be infinitely tilted towards the wolf cavalry.

There are also many wolves in the grasslands of the White Forest Plane, but there have never been frost wolves here.

So when this frost wolf appeared on the grassland, the aboriginal herders who were grazing came from all directions on horseback, and they were very worried that the frost wolf would give birth to offspring on this grassland, but when they learned that Bernita was a she-wolf, these aboriginal herders were much more relieved.

But he still offered Tygo a tribute of twelve oxen and twelve yellow sheep, hoping that he could restrain his combat partners and never leave such a terrible monster offspring on the grassland.

The wolf orc Tiger accepted these tributes with a black face.

The herders said this as an insult to Bernita.

Bernita was Tygo's lifelong companion, and he wouldn't even marry any other orc for Berneta's sake.

So Bernita will only give birth to stronger orcs in the future......

But after all, it was twelve cattle and twelve yellow sheep, and at the strong request of Bernita and Gulitham, the wolf orc Tiger made a solemn promise to these indigenous herders that he would not leave any Berita blood in this grassland.

In order to be able to ride the Gubolai horse, Karry. Decker couldn't wear that set of demonic heavy armor, so she could only wear a casual leather suit, and her tall figure made her look heroic on horseback.

She and Samira often race horses in the pastures. Decker rode better, but the lighter Samira won a little more.

It was originally a seven-day journey from Wilkes to Dodan Town, but Surdak's team extended their travel time a little each day, so on the evening of the fifth day, Surdak saw the War College south of Dodan Town.

In the afterglow of the scorching sun, the battlefield academy in Dodan Town was like a golden edge.

The town of Dodan is now hidden in the shadow of the Dodan Gorge, and only the rolling and flowing Dodan River is still sparkling in the sunset.

The row of riverside wooden houses on the banks of the river is neat and exquisite, and the melodious bells of the church can be heard in the distance.

A herd of sheep herders was herding the sheep back to the sheepfold outside the town, and when they saw Bernita, they collapsed on the grass and refused to take a single step forward despite the whippings of the herders.

This is how Surdak entered the town of Dodan with his combat squad.

Entering the town of Dodan, Surdak found that this town had almost changed drastically compared to a year ago, the most prosperous streets of the town were almost lined with all kinds of shops, some adventure groups and mercenary group soldiers were wandering on this noisy long street, and the smell of various delicacies wafted from the restaurants on the street.

Along the way, Surdak saw seven or eight open taverns alone.

However, there is still only one bakery in the town, and when Surdak passes by the bakery, there is still a long line outside the bakery, and this bakery still only sells baked wheat cakes and whole wheat bread sprinkled with salt, but it almost monopolizes the bread industry in the town.

There is no secret that the town of Dodan will take out a part of the financial subsidy every month to sell wheat flour at a very low price to the bakery, and the bakery also operates this bakery at a very low profit, and at present the town still only buys two copper coins per wheat cake, which is not possible in Wilkes City, even if you buy the same amount of wheat flour......

In order to be able to enjoy this benefit, some mercenary groups and adventurers will basically hire one or two locals in each team, so that they can buy these cheap foods.
